Diarrhea Problem

If you've done all the testing and nothing is coming back, then I would primarily look to the diet. I've heard of many the critter who's symptoms disappeared on a balanced raw diet.

Symptomatically, the herb Slippery Elm is great for both diarrhea and constipation. I sprinkle it in my cats' food when they need it (usually because they've gotten into something naughty)...its non toxic but 1/4 tsp is usually the max you would need. I would also do probiotics and maybe even digestive enzymes

I don't have a brand preference. It's not so much a supplement as an herb and it isn't overly popular, so you shouldn't have issues with people lying about what it is.

If that has been done then I would do the boiled chicken and rice, with Foriflora when you get it and see how it goes. You may need to do the limited ingredient diet to rule out an issue with a specific protein.
This was the best advice anyone has given me, including both vets. His stool still isn't perfect, but it has improved dramatically, to the point had it started out like it is now I might not have taken any action. So thank you Dumàlove

You're welcome!! And I'm glad it's better. Keep in mind though that he can't live on that diet forever as its not balanced. So you will need to start thinking about what to feed him once he's been on that diet for a few weeks.
